804: Chapter 800: Serving as a Sparring Partner 804: Chapter 800: Serving as a Sparring Partner Ah-woo.
Wangcai let out a pitiful whine upon hearing the scolding.
Seeing this, Chen Yang thought the little guy might be sick, so he squatted down to give it a once-over.
But he didn’t find anything wrong with its body.
“What’s wrong with you?
Why are you so listless every day?” Chen Yang asked, puzzled.
But Wangcai, being unable to speak, just kept making whining noises.
Chen Yang couldn’t make sense of what the little guy was trying to say.
However, seeing its gestures, Chen Yang suddenly rembered—he had promised Wangcai a reward yesterday but had yet to deliver it.
“Oh, are you asking for your reward?” Realizing this, Chen Yang asked imdiately.
Woof woof!
Wangcai nodded enthusiastically.
Only then did Chen Yang understand what it ant—so that was it.
Now that he knew, Chen Yang didn’t hesitate.
He reached into his pocket and pulled out a Body Refining Elixir, tossing it to Wangcai.
“Here, this is your reward.”
Ah-woo!
Wangcai leapt into the air, swallowed the Body Refining Elixir in one gulp, and then returned to its nest contentedly.
“This little guy… I’ve no idea what it’s doing at night.
It’s always so sluggish during the day.”
Watching Wangcai, Chen Yang grew increasingly curious since even the Body Refining Elixir didn’t seem to perk it up.
He made a ntal note to keep an eye on Wangcai tonight to see what it was up to.
After pondering for a mont, he left the backyard and went to the kitchen to prepare a al.
For lunch, he was still eating last night’s rabbit at.
The two rabbits Brother Eagle caught yesterday were both quite large.
They’d only finished half last night, so there was still so left for today.
Chen Yang took the opportunity to cook it.
Once the lunch was ready, Chen Yang called Wang Qingyue to join him.
After they finished eating, Wang Qingyue asked if Chen Yang had any plans for the afternoon.
If not, she suggested so sparring to practice their martial arts.
“I don’t think I have anything planned.
If you want to train, we can do that,” Chen Yang said after giving it so thought.
“Great!
It’s decided, then!” Wang Qingyue’s face instantly lit up with delight when Chen Yang agreed.
Chen Yang, on the other hand, sighed helplessly.
He couldn’t help but think, why does this girl always like to settle things with her fists?
Wouldn’t it be better to act more ladylike?
Then again, upon reflection…
Wang Qingyue’s personality was actually quite unique.
If she were truly a delicate lady, she might lose so of her charm.
“I’ll go prepare first.
Take a half-hour break, and then I’ll co at you!” Wang Qingyue said excitedly before running into her room and locking the door behind her.
Chen Yang froze for a mont upon hearing that, then shook his head.
“It’s just a light sparring session.
Does she really need to prepare for it?
What’s she planning?”
Though confused, Chen Yang didn’t dwell on it.
He got up and went to the backyard to check on Wangcai.
Earlier, while cooking, Chen Yang had given Wangcai a Body Refining Elixir.
Now, Wangcai was still in the middle of digesting it.
Originally, he had planned to tease the little guy, but seeing Wangcai’s serious efforts to absorb the elixir’s effects, he decided not to disturb it.
Instead, he wandered around the herb garden for a while.
About twenty minutes later, Wang Qingyue erged from her room, dressed in climbing gear.
This wasn’t the first ti Chen Yang had seen her dressed this way, so under normal circumstances, he wouldn’t have had any reaction.
But because of sothing that happened the previous night, seeing her perfectly outlined figure in the climbing outfit sparked a heat in his chest, bringing certain thoughts to mind.
“What’s with that look in your eyes?”
Originally, Wang Qingyue was quite energized, but when she noticed Chen Yang’s odd gaze, her cheeks instantly turned red.
“Er… nothing.
Are you ready?
If so, let’s start,” Chen Yang responded awkwardly, hastily changing the topic.
The atmosphere was becoming a little awkward, after all.
“Alright!
Here I co!”
Wang Qingyue didn’t linger on Chen Yang’s expression.
Hearing his signal, she imdiately launched an attack on him without hesitation.
Chen Yang was prepared and quickly blocked her as she closed in.
When he caught her roundhouse kick with one hand, he felt her strength and was a bit surprised.
He hadn’t expected that, in just ten days, Wang Qingyue’s strength had increased so significantly!
Though she had been taking Dragon-Tiger Elixirs these past couple of days, the boost was still beyond his expectations.
Though surprised, Chen Yang didn’t voice his thoughts mid-fight and continued to deal with her attacks.
When sparring with Wang Qingyue, Chen Yang primarily acted as her training partner to help raise her combat abilities.
As such, he focused on blocking her strikes but never attacked back proactively.
Wang Qingyue understood this as well, so she launched her attacks with full enthusiasm.
If one strike didn’t work, she’d follow it with a second, and if the second failed, she’d go for a third.
She gave it her all, trying every move she knew to land a hit on Chen Yang.
Yet, although her strength had improved, it still fell far short of Chen Yang’s level.
Each ti, Chen Yang effortlessly blocked her attacks, even leaving room to counter if he chose to.
In short, if this were a real fight, Wang Qingyue wouldn’t last more than a few moves against Chen Yang before being defeated.
Wang Qingyue was fully aware of this, but this ti, instead of feeling frustrated, she accepted it calmly.
Thus, the two of them sparred back and forth in the backyard until Wang Qingyue finally tired out and they stopped.
“Not bad—your combat ability has improved quite a bit in such a short ti.
Especially your strength, which has clearly increased,” Chen Yang remarked with a smile as they finished.
Huff huff.
Wang Qingyue was catching her breath, visibly exhausted.
Still, hearing the praise, she couldn’t hide the smile on her face.
“It’s all thanks to your elixirs.
They’re amazing—I can literally feel my strength improving.”
Chen Yang nodded and then went inside to bring out two chairs.
“Take a seat and rest for a while.
You can keep going again after you regain your strength.”
Chen Yang handed a chair to Wang Qingyue.
Without hesitation, she took it, sat down, and began regulating her breathing.
After resting for a bit, she suddenly turned to face Chen Yang and brought up the topic of buying the Dragon-Tiger Elixirs again.
“Chen Yang, could you sell so of those elixirs?
I really want more.”
Chen Yang glanced at her, stayed silent for a few seconds, then stood up and nodded.
“Alright, wait here for a mont.”
With that, he went inside to fetch her the Dragon-Tiger Elixirs.
These days, Chen Yang primarily used Body Refining Elixirs and rarely needed Dragon-Tiger Elixirs, so he didn’t make many anymore.
Only a small stash remained at ho.
Initially, he hadn’t planned to sell them, but since they were just sitting there, he figured it would be better to let Wang Qingyue use them.
Anyway, there weren’t many left, so it wouldn’t cause any issues.
After rummaging around, Chen Yang eventually found twelve Dragon-Tiger Elixirs and handed them to Wang Qingyue.
“This is all I have.
Take them, but only one a day—don’t overdo it,” Chen Yang carefully reminded her while passing the elixirs over.
This stuff wasn’t a joke—overdosing would lead to serious consequences.
Seeing the dozen elixirs in her hands, Wang Qingyue couldn’t hide her delight.
“Got it, I’ll be careful.
Don’t worry, I know my limits,” she reassured him eagerly.
“Alright then.”
Seeing her so happy, Chen Yang couldn’t help but feel a little uplifted himself.
He nodded and returned to his seat, saying nothing more.
